The Industrial Organizational (I/O) track is an interdisciplinary program in cooperation with the Business and Managerial Science Department. This track offers students a blend of psychology and business training and is designed for those who wish either to directly enter the corporate world after graduation or to further pursue graduate study in industrial and organizational psychology.

This is just a sample of our Psychology & Counseling faculty - see them all!

Industrial/organizational psychology emphasizes the unique focus of organized behavior occurring in industrial settings. The field offers many employment opportunities at the Bachelor's level. It is an excellent choice for the student who has a combined interest in psychology and business. Six elective courses (such as Multimedia Applications in Psychology, I/O Special Topic Seminar, I/O Apprenticeship, Psychology of Gender, Internship) will provide students with preparation for work in a variety of business-related fields, including human resources, personnel relations and management.
